What can we reasonably infer from the following data?

1) African nations rank significantly lower in terms of economics, health care, infrastructure, education, employment, etc.

2) African nations are composed primarily of black people

What reasonable inferences can be drawn, or hypothesized based on these facts?

Have just read an answer which claims that TV was invnted by an American in 1927. I checked his source and there it is in black and white. That would be fine but Logie Baird gave the first demonstration of it in 1924. I don't think this is an isolated case either.

this saturday the bush admin. plans to open the NAFTA super highway. mexican truckers will be everywhere!! unregulated!!
currently outside truckers are allowed within 50 miles of our border for three days. under this new highway they will be allowed unlimited acess to our country for 3 months. no insurance, destroying our infastructure, and illigal. ok. then why does everyone make a big deal about immagration? bush wants them here to do work that you will do. thousands of jobs will be lost maybe yours. this highway is the ultimate slap in all americans faces. bush has led you to believe that immagration policies are important, then goes to court to get millions of illigals here. this highway will lead to the fall of the american dream. bush does not care about american families and thier jobs.

Don't we have weapons of mass destruction? Didn't we drop the H-bomb on Japan? Or are we trying to keep that on the down low?

Several weeks ago it was found that Australian Opposition leader Kevin Rudd went to the strip club in 2003(spending tax payers money!). People are saying that is shows that he is only human and more in touch with the general public. If John Howard was found to have done this, there most likely would have been some sort of parliamentary enquiry and he probably would have lost the job.

This is the same with the Andrew Johns thing. He is still seen as some sort of a hero. If he was a “lower” player he would probably be fired.

What do others think?

Our environment is in peril. Al Gore has a solution. Buy carbon credits from Al Gore and he will announce that you now live a nuetral footprint.

Last week I sold my home, cashed in my 401K and depleted my sons college savings plan to purchase Als carbon credits.

I just got a letter from Al today and he said that I now have a nuetral footprint. Sure, we may live in a box outside of town but its our environment people!!!!!

Please, can Al depend on your help? For just 300K he will tell you that you are not a threat to our environment.

Thanks, enjoy your evening.

I am the least cynical person you'll ever meet, but don't think I am stupid enough to believe that a Republican SENATOR being arrested and charged with crimes like Craig remains a secret for 3 months, only to miraculously surface THE VERY NEXT DAY after what amounts to be the biggest presidential campaign scandal involving the most powerful DEMOCRATIC candidate running for president. How convenient? Yeah right.

I was always skeptical of the power of "The Clinton Machine" (as the right wingers like to call it) until this series of events unfolded this week. Now I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of Clinton Power. Its scary.

i am a lib. i ask when will we be able yo leave iraq in a stable government?
there is no good solution for iraq if we stay till the government can stand on its own feet, how long will that take? my guess is 10 to15 years or more.
if we pull out now how will we justify the genoside/civil war that will follow?

...then accuse the corporate media of being driven by liberalism?

They say "Conservative talk shows succeed because of the market." Yet they then say "Media succeeds because they are liberal"???

Do you believe former Speaker of the House of the US House of Representatives Newt Gingrich will run for President of the United States in 2008? Why or why not? Also, would you consider voting for Gingrich?
